Therm-a-Rest ProLite: the Best Sleep I've Ever Had

So, if you don't yet own a Therm-a-Rest and you go camping at least once per year, you are missing out.  They make several different lengths and thicknesses for different scenarios, but my all around favorite is the ProLite series.  I've had mine for about 10 years now and I've used it for hundreds of nights of camping, and sometimes when I'm home in my bed, I really wish I was in my sleeping bag on my Therm-a-Rest.  (I don't think my wife would be super happy about that though.)  One of my simple joys in life is that first moment when I can lay down on my Therm-a-Rest and relax after a long day of bike riding or hiking.  Some of my very best nights of sleep I've ever had have been on my Therm-a-rest.  Anyway, the bottom line is you should check it out, and consider getting one if your aren't fully enjoying your nights outdoors.  It is super light, compact, durable, and comfy, and well worth the price.

Two Wheels North: Bicycling the West Coast in 1909

If you enjoy reading my blog, this book might be worth a look.  Kinda sounds like us...except in 1909!  It is called Two Wheels North: Bicycling the West Coast in 1909.

Two boys on a bike trip are sure to find adventure. Send them off into the wilds of the American West, and it's a safe bet adventure will find them. (Its true!  That is what this whole blog is about!)
